For the first time in MONTHS, new paper entomology art is fluttering off my worktable!

This batch of moths, including these Caletta Silkmoths, are inspired by the hues of harvest, spookiness, and the contrasts of bright foliage against crisp cloudless skies. Coming to my online shop this Friday!

FINAL CALL for this special single-run version of the radioactive Hagerman Horse skull print Radiant Range!

I've had so many more preorders than anticipated, that despite ordering a bunch extra, it looks like it will sell out while still in preorder. Only a handful left right now!

Radiant Range Green Foil *Fall 2025 Limited Edition* PREORDER — Beastie and Bone

Made in celebration of the weird and wonderful radioactive quality of the famous Hagerman horse fossils of Hagerman, ID, this special version of the original Beastie and Bone Radiant Range …

The Dark-Banded Geometer moth reminds me of that flirtatious period between the end of summer and the beginning of autumn with their like sunflower-like colors.

These paper art originals will be available in my online Gallery shop soon!

I'd been asked about bigger prints for popular illustrations of mine frequently, (or, in the case of Persist, if there was just a black and white version for my true ecogoth black loving babes) and at last it's happening! More 11" x14" prints available tomorrow!

The FIRST moths I’ve made in almost a year are fresh off my worktable! These are leopard moths, made with my usual favorite mulberry paper and gouache, and are part of my next installment of Autumn Moths!

YIKES! My site glitched after the last update to it, and made my really weird. Please take 10% off with code CLEANSLATE10 as a thank-you for your patience!

Everything is fixed now, and I'm so sorry if you encountered errors when trying to shop the last week!

Well… I do sell a whole line of downloadable paper entomology kits in my online shop! There are lots out there, though, if my approach (more hands-on, you color them yourself, learn about the species and my paper art techniques) isn’t your cup of tea!

Cobbled-together unicorns, the pressure to have answers immediately, and the power of admitting you don't know and need to learn, brought together by this month's exclusive art about a VERY bad megafauna reconstruction!
